Roberts is of the opinion Sony won’t b able to release PS4 for under $400 without taking a loss, still, despite such a possibility, he feels the hardware business will be “healthy for quite a while.”

“I think the console business will be healthy for quite a while, I think the PC business, the tablet business, the mobile business, they’ll all be healthy,” he said. “I think there’s money to be made in all of them.

“I just like the PC business because there aren’t a lot of people competing there.”

Star Citizen is slated for an estimated release date of November 2014.
